Attempting to actually solve the ``I wanna automatically boot off my dang scsi drive even though I have two IDE drives in my stupid system'', I think I have a glimmer... I am able to boot my system with ``3:sd(0,a)/kernel'', which seems strange since I have only three drives and the 3: would seem to refer to the fourth drive, no? Any idea why this is? Is this because a ATAPI cdrom gets inserted in the table? Another mystery is this: Booteasy comes up on the first IDE drive (where I installed it), but F5 goes directly to the first SCSI drive. Why is that? Anyway, how's this: 1) I need to CD to /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/ 2) I need to rebuild with BOOT_HD_BIAS=3 3) I need to install it onto the disk. HOWZATDONE? Any chance of this working? Will this automatically make ``3:sd(0,a)/kernel'' the default boot? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
